"The Libyan side released our last pilot and apologized to us for this incident. Our aircraft carrier battle group ended this exercise in the Mediterranean Sea and returned to its station." Brightman said.
When Qusay heard what they said, he smiled curiously: "Then, why don't you just talk to Libya directly, why are you looking for me? I completely agree with these statements."
This statement made Brightman a little embarrassed: "Because both are in the Arab world, the relationship between Libya and Iraq is very good. You know, our embassy in Libya was closed decades ago, so we cannot directly Talk to Libya."
Gaddafi, that is a mad dog, which cannot be guessed by common sense, so they wanted to find Iraq, and through Iraqi relations, let Gaddafi release the American pilot.
In the last operation, the United States lost more than 20 pilots, eleven of whom were captured by Libya. For these pilots, they really wanted to plan an operation to rescue the pilots, but several plans were all rejected. It's gone. The failure of the last Iranian hostage incident has already made them fully assess the danger of this kind of operation, and they will not do what they can't do.
This is the case now. If you want to rescue your own pilots from Gaddafi's base camp, the success is very small, and there are more than 1000 American citizens there!
However, if the United States talks directly to Gaddafi, then, with Gaddafi's personality, who knows what will happen?So, find a middleman.Although the United States has the closest relationship with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, there is no doubt that Iraq is a more suitable choice.
The relationship between Libya and Iraq is getting closer and closer. In particular, a certain number of fighter planes have been purchased from Iraq. The United States is dismissive of that kind of fighter planes. The fighter planes developed by Iraq and China What excellent performance?Although the Pakistan Air Force is also equipped, it is because the Pakistan Air Force is a traditional user of Chinese fighters, and they do not have enough funds to purchase more modern fighters.
The United States is also observing that during this air strike, none of Libya's fighter jets took off, including the two Super Seven fighter jets that had been imported from Iraq.
Domestic opposition to this conflict is getting louder and louder, believing that the United States is engaged in a meaningless war. Therefore, after repeated research, they finally decided that it is time to end this operation with dignity.
If Gaddafi admits his mistake and returns the pilot, then this matter can be considered over.But is Gaddafiken?
It depends on whether Qu Sai is willing or not.
"Our relationship between Iraq and Libya is very good, but it is not good enough to influence Gaddafi's decision-making." Qu Sai said: "It is impossible for us to persuade Gaddafi to apologize to the United States. President Reagan apologized to the innocent people of Libya who were bombed."
Because of the strong opposition from the French, President Reagan publicly issued an apology to the French diplomat who was killed this time, which is considered to have ended the civil conflict between the two countries. However, the Libyan who was killed, even if They are ordinary citizens, and it is absolutely not President Reagan's turn to apologize.
Hearing Qusay's words, Brightman knew that these ideas of the top US officials might not come true. It would be very difficult for Iraq to help the US convince Gaddafi. Before coming, he had already made mental preparations.
I really don't know what President Reagan thought, allowing himself to complete such a task!Brightman thought.
"Your side did not stand in the right position in resolving this dispute. You should know that this tragedy should not have happened. Our entire Arab world condemns this attack. Terrorist attack." Qusay said bluntly, anyway, when he urgently summoned the ambassador, he had already said those words: "Your side wants me to persuade Gaddafi, so you have to come up with Enough sincerity."
Qusay came here to make a request on behalf of Gaddafi. Brightman felt that it was a complete mistake to come this time. Then he heard Qusay say: "Those pilots are the executioners who slaughtered the Libyan people. Libya will Trying them openly in court, according to Libyan law, I am afraid that they will be sentenced to at least 20 years in prison."
20 years in prison!In this case, the family members of those pilots, under the instigation of the opposition party, may cause even more trouble in the United States. Brightman frowned and said, "We cancel the apology and ask Libya to let go of our pilots, and then our Is it okay for the aircraft carrier battle group to withdraw from the northern waters of Libya?"
Brightman made his own claim, but this proposal can be approved by President Reagan.
Is it fair for both parties?Unexpectedly, Qusay went on to say: "Your aircraft carrier battle group must be withdrawn from the northern waters of Libya first, and only then can I be sure to persuade Colonel Gaddafi."
First and foremost, this is a matter of dignity.
"No, no, if this is the case, our military will absolutely not agree." Brightman said.
"Then there's nothing I can do," Qusay said.
As long as the Americans don’t launch an attack, they can stay there if they want to. The daily consumption of two aircraft carrier battle groups is an astronomical figure. Anyway, the domestic economy of the United States is very sluggish because of the huge military expenditure of the United States. Although ordinary people are still kept in the dark, the top US officials know that they won't last long. If they want to fight, they just finish the fight and leave. If they don't want to fight, they don't fight at all. They can't afford to burn money.
The military really wanted to fight, but they were still hesitating because they were not sure of victory, could not disregard the life and death of the captured personnel, and did not have a moral advantage.
"You also know that for Gaddafi, he has always had a very hostile attitude towards the United States. If he releases people first, and the United States starts to act again after releasing them, then I am afraid that Gaddafi thinks that I Actions behind the scenes." Qu Sai said: "So, the United States must first leave the Libyan waters, so that it can be done."
Qusay said it very honestly. Now, the United States dare not attack Gaddafi because he has more than a dozen prisoners in his hands. Although it is actually nothing, but now, some people have been making fuss about those people, and Gaddafi also knows up to this point.
If the captives were released, and the United States went to bomb again, Qusay would have nothing to do, and afterwards, Qusay would be in big trouble.
Brightman already had a sense of proportion in his mind. So, it seems that Gaddafi is still afraid of the attack from the US.
"Anyway, if Gaddafi doesn't let go, you can still drive the formation over, but if Gaddafi lets go, you don't leave, and you are still threatening Libya's security, so Gaddafi has no countermeasures. , Therefore, he will definitely not agree to the proposal to release people first." Qusay said: "We in Iraq are willing to do our best to resolve this conflict peacefully, but an agreement can only be reached if the terms cannot make the Libyan side feel disadvantaged. "
Chapter 962 Putting the Satellite
How to resolve this conflict, war is not final, if the war escalates, Libya will definitely be unable to resist the full-scale air strikes by the United States, and the cause of this incident is not very serious, and the United States does not have such a need. The deteriorating economy does not allow such a meaningless war.
Therefore, under the agreement of Iraqi President Qusay, the US aircraft carrier formation left the northern waters of Libya, and Libya released the captured American pilots and the citizens who were invited in the Aziziye Barracks. This incident finally got peaceful settlement.
And at the end of the meeting with the US ambassador, Qusay put forward Iraq's request, hoping to continue to purchase a batch of Black Hawk helicopters from the US, some spare parts for E-2 pre-warning, and to apply for US approval to allow Iraqi private funds to enter the US normally. financial field.
At present, almost all the funds of the United States are fleeing abroad. Under such circumstances, if Iraq wants to invest funds into the US market, it will be of great benefit to helping the United States stabilize its domestic financial situation. Therefore, the United States will soon Agreeing to Iraq's request, Iraq's funds cannot be allowed to intervene in important defense companies, and the rest can be circulated in the United States.
After receiving the news, an aircraft model factory in Iraq took the first step. They acquired an aircraft model company in the United States that was not doing well and was about to go bankrupt.
This kind of merger did not arouse any suspicion in the United States, but no one noticed that this company participated in a bidding drone project of the military a few years ago and invested a huge amount of money, but it failed. It was precisely because of this failure that their company's huge investment was in vain, and the model airplanes they produced were also unsalable due to various problems.
The aircraft model company in Iraq was established only a few months ago, with a few employees. After they arrived in the United States, they entered the company and began to produce various new products.
In order to restore the reputation of the United States, in order to allow the United States to reshape its influence in front of the world, at the invitation of President Reagan, Gorbachev visited the United States. A few days later, they jointly signed an agreement on the destruction of medium-range ballistic missiles between the two countries.
The signing of this agreement made the eyes of the world shift, and it re-focused on this place. Just when the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union had a major accident, and the people were talking about the nuclear change, the agreement signed by the two parties is now A more peaceful and friendly gesture was revealed. This year was named the World Peace Year by the United Nations for these reasons.
There are a large number of nuclear warheads in the two countries, which is a threat to world peace. Therefore, the reduction of nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles on both sides is very happy for the people of the world to see.
No other country has as many ballistic missiles as these two countries. Of course, I hope that they will reduce them. There are more countries without ballistic missiles. Therefore, no one does not welcome the reduction of the two sides this time.
Among these people, Iraq is probably the most welcome.
Qusay personally asked about this matter several times. In Iraq, all preparations have been made.
The Abgar region in the east of the Hijara Desert is the location of the Arabian Space Company. Here, their first project is to imitate the Dongfeng-3 missile. Now, key progress has been made. The imitation of the engine , has been initially resolved, and other supporting facilities are also being established.
In particular, a complete observation system has been established, which will be of great use to future experiments.
In addition to these, they also secretly established a new factory, claiming to the outside world that this is a tractor factory, and internally, it is their own missile factory!
These missile factories are used to produce two brand new solid missiles!
Among them, the OTP-23 missile has been tried in Iraq for a period of time. This is a solid ballistic missile with excellent performance. Iraq has achieved good results in using this missile.
The production line of this missile was a project that Gorbachev nodded and approved after Qusay personally proposed it to Gorbachev in secret. After repeated consideration by Qusay, he finally adopted a compromise solution: The OTP-23 missile has only one production line of the Southern Machinery Manufacturing Plant of the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union destroys this missile, then the launch vehicles that Iraq spent a lot of money to buy will be useless.
In the Chernobyl nuclear power plant incident in Iraq, helping the Soviets and jointly fighting against the devil of nuclear leakage is already a good friend in the eyes of the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Soviet Union also needs more funds. Those production lines were directly destroyed. Indeed Some waste, sold to Iraq, can make more money, so, after careful consideration, Gorbachev agreed to Qusay's proposal.
In this way, even if there is an imperial decree, it is up to the Iraqi personnel to do things down below. Therefore, although it costs an extra sum of money, it is more cost-effective, because this can ensure that the work can be seamless.
Moreover, with Gorbachev's consent, not only this kind of missile, but also the more important solid fuel production line of the missile was secretly imported.
You should know that although the production line is destroyed, the fuel line will not be destroyed, because this kind of solid fuel is used in many ways.
Of course, Gorbachev didn't know that the people below were already preparing to sell the RSD-10 missile to Iraq. The range of this missile was enough to allow Iraq to threaten certain lands of the Soviet Union. Of course, Iraq would not To do so, however, was not in the interests of the Soviet Union.
As long as it is in the interests of the following people!Under the huge torso, this huge body has already begun to decay.
For Iraq, the possession of these two types of missiles has benefited Iraq a lot. Both are solid ballistic missiles. They have a short preparation time when launching and can respond quickly. Moreover, they can be launched on the move. The nuclear warheads produced by Iraq itself, and Iraq's medium-range nuclear forces, can finally enter a period of stable development.
On the basis of these missiles, secondary development is carried out, and the technical backbone cultivated through surveying and mapping Dongfeng-3 is a leap forward for Iraq. If you want to catch up with the world's advanced technology, you can only go this way. kind of road!
At the same time, Iraq's first resource survey satellite, a space project co-operated by Iraq and a major eastern country, finally ushered in the countdown at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
